"I Wanna Be Around"

"I Wanna Be Around"



I wanna be around to pick up the pieces,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Some somebody twice as smart as I!
A somebody who,
Will swear to be true,
Like you used to do with me,
Who will leave you to learn,
That misery loves company,
Wait and see!

I wanna be around to see how he does it,

When he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine!
And that's when I'll discover,
That revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applaudin'
From a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Like you broke mine!

"I Was Young And Foolish"

"I Was Young And Foolish"


[instrumental opening]

I was young and foolish,
When I fell in love with you...
Not too wise in the ways of the world
Was I...
Young and foolish
Were the things I used to do,
Oh what silly tricks I would try!

I've changed my mind about many things,
Things I never knew before...
But though I've changed my mind about many things,
As time goes by,
I love you more!

If it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do,
Let me be young and foolish...
My whole life through!

(if it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do...)
Let me be young and foolish...
My whole life through!

I'll be young and foolish...
My whole life through!

"I'll Remember April"

"I'll Remember April"




This lovely day will lengthen into evening,
We'll sigh good-bye to all we've ever had,
Alone where we have walked together,
I'll remember April and be glad....

I'll be content, you loved me once in April,
Your lips were warm, and love an' spring were new,
But I'm not afraid of autumn, and her sorrow,
For I'll remember, (I'll remember)
April and you! (I'll remember)

The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while...
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely, (Oh, no...)
I'll remember April, and I'll smile...

The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while (a little while)

I won't forget, but I won't be lonely (I won't be lonely)
I'll remember April, and I'll smile...

I won't forget but I won't be lonely, no...
I'll remember April, and I'll smile!

This lovely day will fade away....

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"



At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
and to find it how often I've tried
but my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
and my dreams have all been denied!

Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame?
I wonder if it could be me?

I'm always chasing rainbows
watching clouds drifting by!
My schemes are just like all of my dreams
ending in the sky!

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain!
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain!

Believe me...

I'm always chasing rainbows
waiting to find a little blue bird in vain!

(Rainbows seem to fade away!)

"I'm Gonna Love That Gal"

"I'm Gonna Love That Gal"


I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before
I'm gonna show that gal she's the baby that I adore
When she's in my arms again
Our dreams will all come true
Then, the years between might never have been
We'll start our lives anew!

I'm gonna kiss that gal like she's never been kissed before
And though I miss that gal she's the baby I'm waitin' for

We'll never part again
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before!

[instrumental break]

"I've Got A Feelin' I'm Fallin'"

"I've Got A Feelin' I'm Fallin'"



I'm flyin' high, but I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
You caught my eye, and I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Show me the ring and I'll jump right through!

I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now I'm a tingle over you
Hey mister parson stand by, for I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you!

(yes, it's a plain to see that he's flyin' high
And we've got a feelin' he's fallin'...)

I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
(no one else will do, since you,
Caught his eye and we've got a feelin' he's fallin'...)
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now I'm a tingle over you
(hey mister parson stand by,
Cause we've got a feelin' he's fallin'...)
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
(nobody else will do,
But you...)

"I've Got The World On A String"

"I've Got The World On A String"


I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm in love...

I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go,
Anytime I move my finger, lucky me, can't you see?
I'm in love...

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go...

I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world,
I'm in love...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

. . . what a world, what a life,
I'm in love...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

. . . lucky me, can't you see?
That I'm in love...

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go...

Oh! I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm really in love...

"I've Got You Under My Skin"

"I've Got You Under My Skin"



I've got you under my skin,
I've got you deep in the heart of me,
So deep in my heart . . . you're really a part of me,
I've got you under my skin!

I tried so . . . not to give in,
I said to myself . . . this affair, never will go so well!
But why should I try to resist,
When 'Darling' I know so well,
I've got you under my skin!

I'd sacrifice anything, come what might,
For the sake of having you near!
In spite of the warning voice, that comes in the night,
And repeats, and repeats, in my ear . . .

"Don't you know little fool . . . you never can win!
Use your mentality, wake up to reality!"

But each time I do . . . just the thought of you,
Makes me 'stop' before I begin,
'Cause I've got you . . . Hmm I got you,
I got you . . . under my skin!

"I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face"

"I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face"



I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
She whistles night an' noon

Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in

I was serenely independent and content, before we met
Surely I could always be that way again
And yet, I've grown accustomed to her looks
Accustomed to her voice, accustomed to her face

 

[fox69]

"If"

"If"


If they made me a king
I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything
I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night
Stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed
Yet, humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd
I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth
What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

[Instrumental Interlude]

If I ruled the night
Stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed
Yet, humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd
I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth
What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
